About Me

THE CONGREGATION OF SELVES --waited a long time to come together as one. All discussion ceased. The quiet led to comtemplation, and out of contemplation came a great reckoning with The Universe and a letting go. "I will not fight anymore," said the selves in unison, "I will let loose with confidence and a smile and achieve great things for myself". To which The Universe replied, "All is yours". This is how great people are born from mediocrity.--Gary Widger
